The Department of Modern and Classical Literature and Cultures mourns the loss of Anita Kiperman, a vibrant force in Spanish, whose broad enrichment of the Rice community spanned 25 years. We are grateful to her family for creating the Anita Kiperman Spanish Language Fund, which will ensure her legacy lives on at Rice. The fund will support annual student awards for those studying Spanish in our department, participating in the Madrid and Cuba travel programs, and with a Spanish language lecture series.
